Since you asked for help, and I have done some work on your draft. Unfortunately, I don't have any more time at the moment. Though (like practically all Wikipedia articles) it could do with some more work, I think it would be OK to re-submit it now. When it is in main space, you can continue working on it, and I would expect several editors to help improve it further. It's the Wikipedia way. The "classic" Wikipedia interface for editors takes a bit of getting used to, but it grows on you. Think of proud Ancient Egyptian craftsmen chiselling hieroglyphics in stone. Think of the rich organic darkness you get when you blow out a candle, as opposed to the cold artificial darkness you get when you switch off an electric light. --Boson (talk) 13:10, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't normally approve an article shortly after I have declined it, but in this case I agree that the New York Times biography confers notability and the issues with the references have been fixed. Please go ahead and resubmit it.  Robert McClenon (talk) 13:24, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Burton Edelson.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Burton Edelson.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information. I am sorry that I did not properly copyright tag the image uploaded to Wikipedia.I found uploading it so complicated that I did not get around to figuring out or being aware of the copyright tagging issue. I will go study. You will be pleased to know that I am going to sign this comment with four tildes which I now gather is proper form. Very complicated your norms and semantics here in wikipedia land.... Johnegood (talk) 18:47, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 00:05, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

OK. This image is from around 1960 and was a US Navy photograph. So I think it is public domain. I've been through the tags and this one seems the most appropriate:  I will now try to follow directions and tag the image. There are also images from him as a NASA executive.but that is for another day. Now four tildes times.... Johnegood (talk) 01:02, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
